Reverse photo order in iMovie

Hi,
I am making a photo slide show with iMovie, and i have imported 240 photos into the project. Now the problem is that i want to reverse the order of the photos, so to play slide show from the last photo to the first photo (an anti-chronological order).
Dragging each photo from the last to the first will take me ages to do so, so i'm wondering if there's a way that i can just reverse the order/sequence of the photos all in one click.
Thanks so much,
Will

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How to reverse the order of a bunch of still images in an iMovie Project

    Hello,
    I'm making a stop motion animation using iMovie'09. I need to reverse the order of a few hundred of the images that I imported.
    Does anybody know a good and time efficient way of doing this?
    Cheers,
    Onur.

    Ok, here's how have I done:
    1. Removed those images from the movie project
    2. Created a new project and added all the images which I want to reverse the order of
    3. Set the durations of the images as same as those in my first project
    4. Exported the project as a movie file
    5. Added this short movie file to the first project
    6. From clip adjustments menu, checked 'reverse'.
    There, the subset of the whole collection is displayed in the reverse order.

  • Animation-need help: reverse  clip order , different arrows in  timeline

    hey!
    i am editing a puppetanimation and there are a few annoying things i really would like to know how to use better.
    1.
    i have 4000 pictures, sometimes i want to reverse the order of the pictures/clips. i checked making a own new file out of some pictures in a new sequence but i am scared that the quality is not the same. when i compare it with the normal photos then i can see a difference. so is there a easyer way? just chang quick the order. i can do it manual, but it is annoying.
    and also i remember i did it some years before, but i do not remeber how.
    2.
    is there a other way just to zoom in the timeline? cause apple and normal plus dosn´t work.only if i push the "far away"(the other one) plus. with zooming out it works.
    3.
    very strange is that: when i copy a few pictures and i want to put them somewhere in the timeline, sometimes it showes me an arrow downwards and sometimes an arrow pointing to the right. i like the pointing to the right, cause then i do not delete the gap/break/"nothing" in the timeline. but also i need this arrow when i just move something and not only when i copy something.
    oh i hope you understand....

    i know i know.....it is not that annoying...just these few things. i want to go on with this programm...i know it , it works ... . there is not that much to do.just always checking the pictures and so on.
    for me it is not about the question wich programm!
    to make the question with the arrows more understandable: i want to put something big in a actually too smale gap. and i want that final cut notice this automaticly. it is not about animation. i would also want to know about this if i would have videomaterial and normal clips. and i know it is actually a simple thing.it is often about the shortcuts i do not know.
    and also: i guess you noticed: my english is rubbish, so i did not get all of your explanations(do not tell me that i use the wrong forum, it is the only good one i can use)

  • Is there a limit to the number of photos added to iMovie?

    I am trying to add more photo stills to a project but iMovie will not add more than the 495 I have in there. I know it is an enormous amount of still photos but in they are short in duration and I'd like to add about 130 more to complete this project. Any photos past this mark are simply being rejected/not added by the program no matter how many times I try to drag them over even one at a time. Is there a limit? Can I overcome this some how?

    I would recommend that you put the photos that you need in order in an iPhoto album.
    326 should be no problem. I have done that many or more.
    To drag them into iMovie, open the Photo Browser in iMovie and look for the album. There should be an icon for the album. Drag the icon for the album into your iMovie Project. (rather than dragging the photos one at a time).
    Since you are having sluggish behavior, I would recommend that you shut down iMovie, restart your Mac, and start over with a new project, unless you have too much work invested, in which case, try the old project first.
    Here is a sample of a project where I dragged about 300 photos into a project from an iPhoto album.

  • Images in roll are in reverse frame order

    Greetings from a Mac and iPhoto newbie,
    I just had 7 rolls worth of 35mm film negs scanned to (7) CDs by the local drugstore and I loaded the photos onto iPhoto. No problem there, but I then realized that the lab had scanned my photos in reverse order (ie. frame #1 is now 24, frame 2 is 23, etc.)
    So now my photos appear as an iPhoto "roll" backwards from how they were shot in the camera. I suppose I could manually change the time on each and every photo to force it to whatever order I want, but that would be a bit of work to do.
    My question: Is there an easy way to reverse the photo order on each of the rolls?
    thanks for any assistance!

    The files will be sorted by the capture date or, in the case of scanned files, the scanned or modified date of the file. This will reverse when you change the ascending to descending. If the files were scanned you need to check the which date of the actual file that is being used. PhotoInfo can open a folder of files and display and change the capture date. Try it to see if there is a capture date and what is the order of the dates.
    If it's the captured or modified date that's being used the only application that can change those is Mira. The downside to it is that all files in a folder are batched changed to the same date and time (if you select the time option). There's no option to add a delta time between each subsequent file.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Shared Photostream: Photo Order for Public Web site

    I create a Shared Photostream.
    I add pictures to the Photostream.
    The people getting the stream who are on iOS devices see the photos in the order they were added to the stream.
    First In, First Out.
    However, when I create the Public Website it appears that the photos are in the reverse order.
    The last ones added to the stream are the first one seen.
    Is the photo order just a coincidence? Or should there be a pattern to it? Consistent with the Website?
    Thanks!

  • View iCal's day and week view in reverse chronological order

    Greetings iCalers,
    When I think about day/week calendars, with the Y-axis being times of the day as in iCal's day/week views (e.g. "3:00 AM", and "5:00 PM" are in the leftmost column), I think about times building up to midnight from the bottom—i.e. the day starts at 12:00 AM on the bottom, with 1:00 AM above that, and the day ends with 11:59 PM on the top. I've learned that this intuition is atypical, and all calendaring systems I've come across work in the reverse direction, in line with the majority of people's intuitions.
    I'm wondering if there's a way to get iCal to display in the reverse-chronological order. I suspect there isn't, and I've never seen a terminal command or apple script for it, but I'm hoping there is. If anyone know and could post it here, that would be great!
    Thanks!

    It's cool, I figured out a solution: get over it and stop worrying about trivial issues to the point of excessive fussiness.

  • How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

    I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

    You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
    Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
    You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
    You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
    To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
    Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
    The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
    Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
    Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
    You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
    When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
    As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

  • How to switch from reverse alphabetical order?

    Please forgive a newbie question: when I open a list view of my hard drives in Finder, the names of the folders are listed in reverse alphabetical order, with the Z's on top, and the A's on the bottom. How can I change it so that it displays the A's on top and the Z's on bottom, whenever I open the view? Thanks in advance.

    Click the "Name" bar, so the small triangle faces up again.
    You know you can also sort by Date Modified, etc, just click on the column's topbar.

  • Can I reverse the order of finder lists or icons?

    Hello,
    I am finding some problems with Lion that I never seemed to have with Snow Leopard and would very much appreciate someone's help.
    To cut a long story short I want to reverse the order of the files in finder, either in list or icon view (or maybe any kind of view). At the moment they are in date created order, but I have also tried in name order and cannot see any way to reverse the order.
    At present the are show the newest file first but I want to see them in oldest first as they always were for me in OSX 10.6
    Also... in date created view they appear in groups (eg previous 7 days, previous 30 days) I have never seen this before and find it particulalry annoying. I'm sure some people love it but for me it is one of the things that I most hated about windows, but at least in Windows I found it easy to turn off (along with reversing order!). Can anyone tell me how to stop OSX from doing this?
    Much obliged,
    Pablo

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple, Inc."
    In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
    In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
    And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

  • How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

    I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    There might be another way.
    There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
    I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
    "A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
    There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

  • When saving, how do I change the default order of my files in the pop up window which is currently reverse chronologic order?

    When I want to save a file on my computer, Firefox opens a window for me to designate a location. Up until a few weeks ago, my files were listed in chronological order by file type. Now they're listed in reverse chronological order which is not convenient. This happens every time and I can't find where to change the setting.

    Did you check the right-click context menu ?
    You can also try to switch to list mode and click the Name column header to switch the direction.

  • How to Reverse Page Order in Acrobat Pro 9

    Hello Community,
    I thought this would be an easy thing to do in Acrobat but so far I am finding it is not.
    I am creating a PDF from multiple files, they are jpegs, and I am dragging and dropping them into the "combine files" window in the order I want them to be displayed. However Acrobat reverses this order as you put them in and then gives you no chance to switch the order. It gives you the option to move the order one by one (which is nearly impossible when the jpeg titles are img1824, img1623, etc.) so they other option is to add the files I want backwards, which my brain can not do, I like to work forwards, not backwards nor should I have to.
    So once I create this backwards PDF, isn't there a way to just reverse the order of the pages? any help is appreciated.
    e~

  • Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

    Is there a way to have the calender results in a global search on an iPhone to appear in reverse cronological order?

    I guess not... (at least not on 5.x!!). I would just like the calendar search to return results in chronological order of any sort. With iCloud calendars and OS 5.1.1 it lists all the results (by date order) for one calendar, and then does all the results for the other one, which is a bit tiresome. Strangely it all works fine with Google calendars... But maybe I will just use spotlight search to get round this problem for now.
